- Jim Kelly for 10 years quarterbacked the Buffalo Bills. He guided them to 4 straight Super Bowls. Even though Kelly's Buffalo Bills lost all four Super Bowls they went to his Buffalo Bills will remain one of the most dominant teams in NFL history. Today Jim Kelly has battled and eventually beat cancer 2 times. This video is a tribute to his legacy!

Idgaf if this guy has no rings. He was a champion in my eyes. He played liked one. Great player.
ABSOLUTELY!!!
I hear what you are saying but to him I am sure the numbers are not good enough till you made it passed the promise lands and just like Marino he could not get it done! Sad to see impact players not getting a championship Reggie Miller for the Pacers has never won an NBA title very sad. Randy Moss falling short in the Superbowl. Numbers are great but a trophy and ring is so much sweeter!
My thoughts exactly
Who TF is this soccer clown? Kicck rocks irrelevant S.O.B.
No question. This guy was tough as nails and absolutely never gave up no matter the score. He also had a great arm and won some tough playoff games. Big time player. I rank him above Marino but below Elway. Kelly owns Marino in the playoffs.
Toughest QB you will ever meet! 0-4 in Super Bowls , lost his only son and fought cancer 3 times. Most underrated as well.
@M SHUT UP
@M no relevance to the topic at hand at all. F*ck soccer and f*ck you.
@@hennagan99 yeah damn I didn’t know his son died I was born in 06
@M soccers borring dawg straight up if anything fastest growin sports is mma an that ain't even a sport
SOCCER. Is one of the most boring sports. I'd rather watch golf or competitive swimming before soccer.
Those 90's Bills were great. It's criminal that they didn't win a Super Bowl :(
Jim Kelly might be 0-4 but he has accomplished more than alot of former and current qbs ever will. True legend
Ya nobody in history will accomplish what he has to losse four straight superbowls yes tht will never happen only by him
@@kobecastillo923 it's more better than winning 1 Superbowl.
Jim Kelly is the most underrated QB of all time!
WyattTheNerd totally agree and I am a Dolphins fan
Top 10 QB of all time.
cbdawgpound no he was a great qb but he was reason they lost first sb to giants
Sport Package lol
Underrated?
He's a HOF'r
This man put the ball EXACTLY where it needed to be. Unreal.
He certainly did. I've watched every Bills game from the late 80's, Jim Kelly was masterful to watch.
Even some of those SB throws ... the one to McKeller against Washington that would have put them at least in the red zone. The two to Beebe in that game that would have been touchdowns ... the one to Riemersma against Dallas where Riemersma slipped and it was an int. All those balls were exactly where they needed to be.
Kelly was mad accurate..wish he coulda won aleast one ring... moon was my second fave qb if all time😊
Kelly was tough, had a good arm and accuracy, a leader, and was a winner. Anyone that can make to 4 straight SBs deserves to be mentioned as one of the greatest. Besides SB 25, can't blame Kelly to losing to better and dominating teams. He rarely gets mentioned as one of the greatest QBs of all time but during his prime he regularly beat his 83 alumni QBs Marino and Elway. Kelly should be mentioned top 10 QBs of all time.
Jim Kelly passed the torch to Josh and i’m so happy he did, two goats
Hhhhhellllllllll ya. Y’all about to go on a 13-15 year run.
Jim Kelly & Dan Marino, two QB greats without rings
The difference between them is Marino only went to 1 Superbowl. Kelly went to 4 straight Superbowls.
2 Pittsburgh guys
That Bills offense in the late 80s early 90s was absolutely unstoppable. I remember as a kid watching every week and just being astonished at how dominant they were. Jim Kelly had a freakin cannon for an arm with pinpoint accuracy. What an era! Never won a superbowl but went through ten times what most players ever go through!
Facts ..he was my fave qb growing up along with Warren moon...loved the kgun offense...ted marchibroda installed the offense of the afc championship loss to cleveland..levy only called plays in the redzone
@@jamesroberts1810Wow James don't know you but we share the same taste in Quarterbacks. Moon and Kelly were two my favorite QBs back in the day.
Insane fam ..yesssirr..loved both offenses..run and shoot and k gun ... both kelly and moon had cannons with pinpoint accuracy.. unfortunately tha oilers defense let them down when mattered most.. levy and marchabrodia installed the offense and they took off.. hated they lost 4 sbs..i was bummed after every loss..warren moon and co ..had a high powered offense as well but again defense didnt help.. im a football junkie fam..we can talk football all day..the 2 best offenses to never when a superbowl imo
That stutter draw and that counter..bread and butter
I been watching football for 30 years and the BILLS offense of the early to mid 90's was the best offense I ever saw
I'm a Giants fan for life and if we would of lost to you Jim in 90 I would of smiled. You are one of the best ever.
I went to several Houston Gambler home games and Jim Kelley dominated the field. He was one of the best QBs I’ve ever had the pleasure to watch. Those early pro run and shoot offenses were so explosive and Kelly gained complete command of the offense very quickly. That says a lot.
My favorite qb off all time..i was bummed after every sb loss !!
Everyone can have their favorite QB for whatever reason BUT Jim Kelly possessed certain qualities and did certain things and had a leadership mentality that for me made him the greatest football player in NFL history!
Josh Allen has the talent! they need to dust off the old playbook and run it
And yes Allen has proved he’s elite , maybe he can bring a Sb to Buffalo
Dude was a beast. One tha toughest players I've ever seen and I'm not just talkin qbs.
Jim kelly is my Goat you give him 3,4 Rings he'd be in talk with the Top 5
Hes overrated, hes the reason the bills lost so many superbowls. He averaged more turnovers a game then touchdown
Kelly was so good. And HOW have I forgot about Don Beebe! Man I’m getting old. And Thurman he was a great RB.
I felt bad for that kicker. Wow you know back in the day fans and some players gave no quarter to place kickers. They still get their share. But back then, there wasn’t the pc of today. Yep they went there…..should not have but they did.
Great video. The trick play at 8:10 is one of the finest you'll see!
I’m not even a bills fan, but Kelly is one of the greatest. Beat cancer’s ass!
The 90's were so polarizing for me as a teenager... I watched my favorite NBA team win all 6 of their championships, and watched my favorite NFL team lose all 4 of theirs lol.
Kelly was still a beast though... an all time great
Thanks for everything Mr. Kelly . God bless you and your family.
I’ve been watching American football since it was first shown on tv in the uk so I saw Jim Kelly at his peak and I’m ashamed to say I never really appreciated just how good he was , he stood along side and matched up against some of the best qb’s to ever play the game ,John Elway , Dan Marino , Joe Montana and Troy Aikman to name a but a few , shame on me .
His accuracy and ball placement are unmatched in my opinion. Looking back on his plays, this is unbelievable.
JIM KELLY ONE OF MY FAVORITES GREAT QUARTERBACK GOD BLESS YOU JIM (12) 🙏 HAPPY HOLIDAYS 🎄
I used to only have anguish when thinking about the four lost Super Bowls. As thirty years passing by, I realize many of those 90’s Bills are inspiration and true champions. The way they handled the excruciating setback and moved on to their life inspires generations of people.
No question. That team was excellent they should have won two of those SB. The first vS the Giants and the last vS the Cowboys. But shit happens. Still a great team with some marvelous players in both sides of the ball. They were unified and fun to watch. Jim was the toughest QB I ever saw.
Kelly was awesome
Great video. The compilation of his Super Bowl interceptions is almost as good and twice as long
I love watching these old Bills clips. If you don’t love Jim Kelly your an idiot. We love you Jim!
Jim Kelly did more with less than most QB's. His Defense was OFFICIALLY Ranked 27th (out of 28 teams) in '91 AND '93 and yet there they were in the S.B. The OFFICIAL NFL Defensive Ranking was 27th.
On top of that -the Bills were 9-4 in the playoffs in their 4 S.B. years, and their Defense was the worst on the field in 12 of those 13 games.Worst by NFL OFFICIAL Rankings. Only the Steelers in '92 were worse than the Bills.
The ‘90 Bills were one of the best teams ever. Norwood cost that particular team it’s place in league history. The other 3 bills SB teams were lesser squads that got beaten by superior teams but that first one was better than the Giants at every position except kicker and outside linebacker (LT). Damn shame.
damn ! he had an hall of fame arm , throwing freakin lasers .Will always love you Jim !
Andrew Cutler And that's why it's criminal that he didn't get any rings :(
holy shit. Wow I forgot how good he was
Nobody stayed in the pocket like Jim. Ball had no air but what he put into it everytime it left his hands, in the Buffalo winds.
Jim Kelley was great he was the best in the late 80s and early 90s the bills went to 4 Superbowls in a row no team has ever done that the bills were a true championship team
Class of 1983 kelly, marino and elway..3 of the most wicked arms you will ever see
The greatest QB never to win the super bowl but he's one of the all time greats none the less!
i was one of the crazed fans who ran onto the feild to tear down the goal posts thanks jimbo
One of the greatest regular season teams of all time
That's MR. JIM KELLY. Watchin Jim Kelly at the helm was a master class in football. Fast n loose. T O P meant nothing to that team. That stat was completely eliminated from the mix. The Bills defence was ungodly. Imagine...any two offensive linemen in the NFL, name any two, could not block Bruce Smith. You wanna drag him up and down the field all damn afternoon? Kelly was a quarterback with a defensive players predatory sensibilities. His vision and instincts were that of a hunter. His mastery of the strange winds and ghostly atmospheric conditions coming off Lake Erie was as if he was born and raised on it's shores. Sunday's in Orchard Park will not soon be the same. Sweet memories remain number 12. Sweet memories remain.
Jim Kelly was as accurate a passer as anyone who ever played the position. This guy seemed to always put the ball in the perfect spot at the perfect time. Unreal, Never in your life have you seen a better passer of the football.
I was always in awe watching him play in the early to mid 90s. If he would've had better protection in the super bowls he would've led us to at least a couple trophys.
Dan Marino was actually a better passer as much as I dont like to admit it. Joe Ferguson was an underrated passer as well
@@thomascoburn5481 Marino could not run whatsoever tho.. Jim regularly made plays with his legs to keep drives alive.
@@thomascoburn5481 Marino Had a wicked good arm..zip passes between 20 and 45 yrds I think marino has a slight edge..kelly may have had a stronger deep ball though...consider also jim blew his shoulder out so bad in college 3 metal rods..may have taken some power away long term
One of my All-Time BILLS. So lucky to got to watch him. Often overlooked was his cadence, he catch you camping on the count. The punishment is at hand. No one did it better. . The gr8 Jim Kelly
I'm a pats fan but I love jim Kelly
Im a Bills fan Brady and Kelly GOATS!!!!! We are lucky to have seen such amazing talents in our lifetime! True inspirations!!!
Jim Kelly was the classic overachiever. Consider this: the Bills were 9-4 in the playoffs in their 4 S.B. years ('90-'93) and yet they were the worst Defense on the field in 12 of those 13 games. Also, in '91 and '93 the Bills Defense was Ranked 27th out of 28 teams and yet there they were in the S.B. both years. I am using OFFICIAL NFL Rankings.
No QB did more with less than Jim Kelly. A classic overachiever.
I didn’t know about the d being so shabby in ‘91 and ‘93. He definitely had some weapons though. Two great tight ends, Lofton, Reed, Kenneth Davis, Thurman Thomas and Don Beebe were all outstanding players
wonder how many of these views are from WNY
😅 in viewing from WNY right now
Would it matter he did what he did regardlesss no hudle offense genius! 💯🔥 accuracy timing footwork the best period.
Brother from Southern Ontario here. Just across the border. It's Bills Country here, too!
Never saw a QB take harder hits than he did but he always popped right back up. One tough SOB.
I love how he throws the ball. It comes out much higher than you expect. Its pretty.
Love Jim Kelly
Most people only remember that The 90s Bills lost 4 SBs to the NFC. But, they were 14-2 against the NFC in those 4 years. It makes those SB losses even more heartbreaking to Bills fans like me. That K-Gun offense was a machine! That No-Huddle offense would even work just as well today because the defense never gets a chance to change personnel. They were just devastating to other teams. The Bills were like a buzz saw back then. Kelly is underrated but so is Thurman Thomas. Thomas lead the league 4 straight years in yards from scrimmage. I don't think any other player has ever done that.
The bills were the new England Patriots of the 90s
do you actually think there would be a Patriots dynasty w/o the Bills destroying them year after year?
ALL CURRENT BUFFALO BILLS QUARTERBACKS >>> needs to watch THIS!!!
watching this wont help them throw like that .. or turn our bum receivers into Reed and Lofton or even flip johnson..
@@kellybaxter2131 Have you seen them lately!!!!!
I can't believe he lost 4 in a row with that talent
the K-gun thanks for a lot of great memories jim
One of the Greats !!!
Congratulations on this latest victory in life against the scourge of cancer that was announced on the NFL Channel this morning! Jim you are Cancer Free! I hope this is the final time you will have to make this announcement to your many fans! Keep us up to Date! From the State of Alabama! GO BILLS and Jim Kelly!
Great video I am a big bills fan the bills we never see a QB like him again😰
Commando J I hope you’re happy with our current QB :)
Now you got Josh Allen
Josh Allen might turn out to be pretty good.
@@koolkitties8552 He reminds me of the old school QB's. You can definitely tell he was raised right. Would be awesome if he could bring a Lombardi Trophy to Buffalo one day.
we got Josh😂we good
I still can’t believe he isn’t thought of as well as he would if he had won a Super Bowl when the only reason he lost that first one was because his kicker missed a field goal. He could not have done anything different. It makes no sense that he is penalized for his kicker messing up.
Damn the were good I can't believe they didn't win at leasT 1 super bowl i mean God damn that offense were animals and jim Kelly was an artillery site
They should have won the 90 super bowl but Marv Levy’s horrendous coaching choices (kept trying air it out when the NYG were giving him the run game) and Scott Norwood’s overrated right foot cost them a chance at being remembered as one of the top 5 greatest teams ever.
I want the red helmet again!!!!!!!
I met his father in Dunedin Florida 4 years back it’s weird because my neighbors in California lived next door to them in Buffalo his names was Phil he lived next door to me in San Jose.. I was a bills fan way way before that
Most underrated QB of all time. Was not even in the NFL Network's Top 100 Players of All Time.
Are you serious? He should be on that list but there are thousands of players to choose from.
Absolutely.
It has now been 20 years Jim Kelly officially retired and in all that time they have not had one half decent QB to replace him-Todd Collins, Rob Johnson, Doug Flutie, Trent Edwards, J.P. Losman, Ryan Fitzpatrick, E. J Manuel and now Tyrod Taylor--if you need to figure out why the Bills have not been back to the playoffs in 17 years-having no established QB is a major reason
david graham Yikes.
I disagree. They had a pretty impressive leader and QB in Doug Flutie. I always felt he could have led Buffalo deep into the playoffs. But the front office went over Wade and screwed up badly. The rest is history and the Flutie Curse lives on.
Tyrod Taylor might turn out to be a top notch QB for the Bills. His athletic ability is outstanding. He's tough and smart. If the front office let's him work, things could be lookin up for Buffalo. Offensive line MUST be a priority.
david graham You forgot Bledsoe
Bledsoe and Flutie were beyond "half decent" ... c'mon man!!
Kelly Tough!
God Bless Jim Kelly
My favorite Bill's QB: lost 4 in a row. For that, I love 'em !! I got a taste of Bills fans in Oct.-Nov. of 1990. I stayed with a gf at the corner of Main St. & Depew, down the street from the Uni@Buffalo where she interned at WBFO. Went to a Sabres game versus the Bruins at The Aud, shopped at Tops, ate at the Anchor and so on... cool town- except for obnoxious Bills fans.... Not even talking football with some of her party friends- when they heard I was from Philly ? Oh, right away it's "the Bills are better than the Eagles" or "Jim Kelly blows away Randall Cunningham...." Yeah, obnoxious. Then they went to 4 straight Super Bowls....AND LOST !! Good on ya, Buffalo. And one more thing: Scott Norwood, nor could. Did my heart good to watch them Bills fans eat a shit sandwich, straight up. 😎
JK. TOP meant nothing to the man.
Look at these highlight sequences, check the game clock.
Josh Allen really needs to talk to Jim about how to throw the ball in those winds.
heres a idea bills fans! Jim Kelly Stadium or marv levy stadium till then to me its still Rich
What's the name of the song playing at 5:49? Love it
o-4 straight is worth one ring. K Gun Forever!
As a life long Bills fan it's somewhat eerie to know this team reflects the way I feel about myself.
kelly was everything buffalo wasnt. he was a true winner a true blue chip qb. him finally coming to buffalo saved tht franchise. he put tht city on the map
When the bills were actually good...
Carson On TH-cam they good now
@@DomiTFC Post aged wonderfully wrong
Kelly to Reid! What a duo that was. I enjoyed watching this era of the Sport so many awesome Qbs and Kelly is one of the greats
15:54 started a 20 year stretch where the Bills only made the playoffs two times. The Buffalo Bills were the laughingstock of the NFL for years pre Kelly and decades post Kelly. Josh Allen and the Bills are going to bring it home very soon. Then we can all chill on the 0-4 thing.
Don't tell me he's not a legend. When you combine instinct, magic, with intelligence and toughness, you get jim kelly
Everyone knows about the toughness.
What's not talked about nearly as much is his arm strength and accuracy.
Great QB.
I have followed the Bills Since the Jack Kemp days.
Jim Kelly and that Buffalo team of the early 90s' is what created the Bills fans that we know today.
jim kelly was always my favorite underdog qb. the afc back then had the biggest qb battles ever!!
Jim is 3-0 vS Marino in the playoffs.
He played in four straight Superbowls. Unfortunately, he never won one, but do you know how fucking special you have to be just to get your team there year after grueling year?
Kelly was ahead of his time for qbs his pin point accuracy cant be compared to noone no marino no young no brady even and im a big brady fan but kelly is my favorite period and this vid is one reason y arrogant to the core gameday beast pocket roll out trick dont matter he was making that play holy hell the way this dude dicected the opposing ds was like no other ring or not he was playing the most games in the 90s
I dont have a favorite team but I know my history. I really hope to see the day buffalo gets to say their champ's! Bill's are great, they faced some of the best teams of all time in superbowl visits, I used to wonder why Dan Marino never made it back to the superbowl, I know now.....90s Bill's
wide right the day i let a football game that made me cry
That sucked. Norwood was so over overhyped. I knew his lack of power would one day undo the Bills. That it finally happened in the biggest game was just torturous. I cheered the day the finally cut him.
Why can’t the Bills build a consistently good team anymore?
They've always had trouble..the small market, with long winters and bad weather always deterred high profile athletes and coaches from going there..I always felt building a done would help this, but it would take away from the sense of authenticity you get in the great city of Buffalo
Probably should’ve won a Super Bowl, but didn’t.
Yeah you can say he has no rings but what other qb has won 4 straight fucking afc championships.
Great QB to play in the NFL. The guy was great for the bills.
He is a hall of famer for making history of going to 4 Superbowls.
Yeah Jim!!!! Let's Go Buffalo!!!!!
Best QBs without rings are Kelly, Moon, Tarkenton and Marino
I love that fight and come back mentality Kelly and marino had. Two great legends to watch.
Pittsburgh mentality
Mother Fu**ing K-GUN. GO BILLS!!!!
What an arm this guy had! That 7-step drop and BAM!!!
As a chiefs fan how did this man not win some championships . Was Dallas that damn good ?
Lack of defense in the 90s, there defenses weren't terrible, but they weren't good enough to win championships. They had Bruce Smith and Daryll Talley and that was it
Dallas was good but that ‘91 Redskins team that destroyed Buffalo might be the best team ever if you really study it.
@@thomascoburn5481
Cornelius Bennet, Lamar Odom and Mark Kelso were also quite good.
Anyone hear how Jim is doing lately? Just saw the 30 for 30 about the 90s Bills and wondered. Last thing I could find said he was cancer free as of spring 2019. Anyway, here is one Steeler fan praying for him.
They will WIN TEN SUPERBOWLS AT LEAST #KARMA
Also Jim never bounced around with the ball. He was Marino esque with his decisions. The ball came out quickly, and right on the numbers for fk sake. He rarely missed.
Champions in football and basketball are a team construct! Hockey and Baseball are different. A single talent can change all (much like the singles sports but they have the weak field element)!
Greatest Quarter back to ever play the game!
